26、Mountains of smoke and fire
Deep under the Earth's surface, it's so hot that even rock melts. Sometimes this molten rock, called “magma”, is pushed up to the surface. 【1】 And the opening or vent that lets the lava out is a volcano.
A volcano may explode violently, throwing out rocks for miles around. 【2】 Some volcanoes release clouds of poisonous gas or huge clouds of ash. Volcanoes can even do all these things underwater.
Most volcanoes have been around for a very long time. Many haven't erupted for years and have cooled off. Volcanoes that are not going to erupt again are called “dead volcanoes”. Some volcanoes still give off smoke. These “sleeping volcanoes” may “wake up” one day and erupt again. 【3】 But one day in AD 79 it suddenly woke up. Its eruption threw out hot ash and rocky fragments (碎片) that buried the city of Pompeii. A hot mudflow buried nearby Herculaneum. Because the remains are so well preserved, the area has been named a World Heritage site.
But not all volcanoes are destructive. When a volcano throws out vast amounts of lava and debris(岩屑), it piles up into a mountain. 【4】
Other volcanoes help provide heat and energy. Many Icelandic homes get their hot water from springs heated by volcanic steam. 【5】 Plants grow very well in the rich soil left by volcanoes. And valuable gems, such as diamonds, can sometimes be found in the rocks that are thrown out by volcanoes.
A.At this point it is referred to as "lava".
B.The molten rock is formed inside the Earth.
C.This steam can also be used to produce electricity.
D.Mount Vesuvius in Italy slept for a thousand years.
E.Or it may push lava out so that it flows away, cools and hardens.
F.Japan has many active volcanoes within its narrow national territory.
G.The Hawaiian Islands and the island of Iceland were created in this way.
27、A long-term American study shows the importance of early education for poor children. The study is known as the Abecedarian(初步的) Project. It involved more than one-hundred young children from poor families in North Carolina.
Half of the children attended an all-day program at a high-quality childcare center. The center offered educational, health and social programs. Children took part in games and activities to increase their thinking and language skills and social and emotional development. The program also included health foods for the children.
The children attended the program from when they were a few weeks old until the age of five years. The other group of children did not attend the childcare center. After the age of five, both groups attended public school.
Researchers compared the two groups of children. When they were babies, both groups had similar results in tests for mental and physical skills. However, from the age of eighteen months, the children in the educational child care program did much better in tests.
The researchers tested the children again when they were twelve and fifteen years old. The tests found that the children who had been in the childcare center continued to have higher average test results. These children did much better on tests of reading and mathematics.
A few years ago, organizers of the Abecedarian Project tested the students again. At the time, each student was twenty-one years old. They were tested for thinking and educational ability, employment, parenting and social skills. The researchers found that the young adults who had the early education still did better in reading and mathematics tests. They were more than two times as likely to go to college or to have completed college. In addition, the children who received early education were older on average, when their first child was born.
The study offers more evidence that learning during the first months and years of life is important for all later development.
The researchers of the Abecedarian Project believe their study shows a need for lawmakers to spend money on public early education. They believe these kinds of programs could reduce the number of children who do not complete school and are unemployed.
【1】The Abecedarian Project has lasted ______.
A. almost one year B. about five years C. more than 20 years D. no more than 15 years
【2】What do we know about the people who had been in the childcare center, compared with those who hadn’t?
A. They were more likely to go to college. B. They had children earlier．
C. They had the same results in tests. D. They are less sociable．
【3】According to the passage, The Abecedarian Project__________.
A. involves children from rich families
B. doesn’t provide food for children
C. offers foreign teachers to help improve children’s language skills
D. studies the importance of an early education for poor children
【4】What is NOT sure about the Abecedarian Project after reading the text?
A. How important early education is for poor children.
B. What the children learned at the child-care center.
C. How many children are involved in the Abecedarian Project.
D. Whether lawmakers will spend money on public early education.
28、 You have just won ten million yuan in a lottery （彩票） - how would you spend it? Before you know it, ten minutes had gone on daydreaming.There is a time and a place for daydreaming, but we don't have much control over that.Isn't it worrying that an estimated 30 to 50 percent of our waking time is spent daydreaming? What if your dentist is having that lottery daydream while removing your rotten tooth?
Some studies suggest daydreaming makes us unhappy because we are not focusing on what is around us but are instead thinking about the past or future.However, a recent study published in the journal Neuropsychologica finds that mind-wandering can be of benefit to us.The researchers measured the brain patterns of more than 100 people using an MRI （核磁共振成像） scanner.This data was compared with tests on creative ability and a questionnaire on how much their minds usually wandered.Those whose minds wandered the most scored higher in creative ability tests and had more efficient brain systems measured in the MRI machine.
Being efficient at mind-wandering means you can zone out and then naturally switch back in without missing any important point or step. Christine Godwin, the lead author of the latest study from the Georgia Institute of Technology, says that if you are focusing on difficult tasks, your performance will drop if your mind wanders. “But when tasks are easy, people who have high cognitive ability can let their minds wander because it does not affect their performance. You may be thinking about upcoming goals or problem-solving. These are some of the positive sides to mind-wandering.”
Mind-wandering can vary between being more practical or more emotional. What mind-wandering seems to be best at, researchers say, is coming up with new solutions to old problems. So, it's not always a waste of time!
【1】The first paragraph serves as a（n）______ .
A.explanation B.introduction
C.comment D.background
【2】The study published in Neuropsychologica shows that ______.
A.daydreaming makes us unhappy
B.we are focusing on the past or future
C.mind-wandering is related to creative ability
D.MRI scanner is helpful in measuring the brain patterns
【3】What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 3 mean?
A.get distracted. B.focus on.
C.be affected D.have control.
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Mind-wandering might be dangerous.
B.Daydreaming might bring benefits.
C.Mind-wandering is not a waste of time.
D.Daydreaming is hard to be controlled.
29、A year after Walt Disney made history with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, its artists were struggling to find the right design for Bambi, the tale of a young deer. The film’s production team realized they needed a style that highlighted almost all of the leaves, flowers and mushrooms in their first feature-length animated(动画的)film.
Soon they got their inspiration from Tyrus Wong, whose work was on display as a new exhibit at New York City’s Museum. In 1938, the Walt Disney Studio hired him to draw the frames between the main drawings of the animators. After reading the story of Bambi, he saw an opportunity to break out of his humdrum job. He said to himself “This is all outdoor scenery. And I’m a landscape painter. This will be great!”
Inspired by Chinese landscape paintings, he used watercolor and pastels(蜡笔)to make sketches that bring the feeling of forest scenes with simple strokes of color and special attention to light and shadow. Wong’s sketches attracted Disney and became the guide for Bambi’s background artists, who were later trained to imitate his style. “His expression was a great leap forward for the medium,” writes John Lasseter, the chief creative officer for Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios. “Where other films were literal, Bambi was expressive and emotional.” In 2001,Wong was named “Disney Legend”, and he received the recognition as the true lead artist.
He pursued art all his life and still made art during his retirement, including toy animals from recycled materials and handmade kites that he regularly flew off the Santa Monica Pier in California. “People admire his works because of Bambi, but Bambi was just a really small part of his life,” says his youngest daughter. “He considers himself not a great artist but a lucky artist, who was at the right place at the right time.”
【1】Why did Walt Disney’s artists notice Tyrus Wong?
A．He was good at drawing cartoon characters.
B．He won a prize at a museum in New York.
C．His style was suitable for the animated film Bambi.

【2】What does John Lasseter think of Tyrus Wong’s paintings?
A．They were literal and detailed.
B．They conveyed thoughts effectively.
C．They showed the legend of Walt Disney.
D．They displayed the progress of the medium.
【3】What can we learn about Tyrus Wong from the last paragraph?
A．He was devoted to art during his lifetime.
B．He had been busy his whole life.
C．He gave up art after retirement.
D．He liked to purchase toys and kites.
【4】How does the author introduce Tyrus Wong?
A．By analyzing cause and effect.
B．By making comparisons.
C．By following time order.
D．By listing examples.

All Mum’s Letters
To this day I remember my mum’s letters. It all started in December 1941. Every night she sat at the big table in the kitchen and wrote to my brother John, who had been drafted that summer. We had not heard from him since the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.
I didn’t understand why my mum kept writing to John when he never wrote back.
“Wait and see, we’ll get a letter from him one day,” she claimed. I didn’t know if she said that to calm herself, Dad or all of us down. But I did know that it helped us stick together, and one day a letter really did arrive. John was alive on an island in the Pacific.
Whenever Mum had finished a letter, she gave it to Dad for him to post it. Then she put the water on to boil, and we sat down at the table and talked about the good old days of our big family.
Next spring Mum had two more sons to write to. Little by little the rumour about Mum’s letters spread. One day a small woman knocked at outdoor. Her voice trembled as she asked: “Is it true you write letters?”
“I write to my sons.”
“I don’t know how to write.” whispered the woman. “And you can read too?”
“Sure.”
The woman opened her bag and pulled out a pile of airmail letters. “Read...please read them aloud to me.”
The letters were from the woman’s son who was a soldier in Europe, a red-haired boy whom Mum remembered having seen sitting on the stairs in front of our house. Mum read the letters one by one. The woman’s eyes welled up with tears. “Now I have to write to him,” she said. But how was she going to do it?
